While dreamy-eyed Wallflowers front hunk Jacob Dylan practices looking aloof in a backstage mirror, Madison, Wis.-to-S.F. transplant Brittany Shane will be belting out her acoustic neo-folk up in The Fillmore's Poster Room/Lounge.

A regular on the Bay Area coffeehouse/bar circuit, Shane has a noticeably country-influenced style and very personal -- and sometimes brutally honest -- lyrics that have drawn comparisons to other outspoken, heart-on-their-sleeve female artists like Patti Smith and the Cowboy Junkies' Margo Timmons.

Shane celebrates the release of her third album, "Decked Out," due out later this month. She's online at www.brittanyshane.com.
